Personally, not much in it for me at all!

Strange, I have the link:
Help\ArchiCAD 14 Downloads

Ah in AC11 and AC12 the menu item was called ArchiCAD xx Goodies but it changed in AC13 and 14 to Archicad xx Downloads

Downside of using ArchiCAD for so long

Selecting a circle then trying to do a multiple offset cmnd (ctrl+alt) doesn't work. It works with everything else but doesn't seem to be an option. Am I missing something?

[Erika Epstein]

Use the multiple off-set icon and it works as it should.

The only problem is that the new circles are comprised of 2 half-circles instead of one complete circle like the original.
Bummer.

I don't know if someone find this undocumented New feature for ArchiCAD 14 on MacOs — now it is possible to choose attribute from list by writing partially name by keyboard:

Wow, thanks, I didn't know that.
It is also possible on Windows.
You type the first one or two letters of the attribute and it jumps there in the list of attributes.
It does not highlight all possible matches, only jumps to the first occurrence and highlights that. If the key combination is entered again, it jumps to and highlights the next occurrence and so on.

On windows it works as in previous AC version. Only first letters are allowed and it jumps to attribute name.
Now on MacOs it works for most parameter lists (even in library parts) with any name fragment. Only letters.

In Pen & Colours - it is little different - letters doesn't work only digits! 🙂
Funny is that it is allowed to find pens by their thickness (Pen weight) — eg you could write 0.35 and all such pens will be highlighted.

Line types doesn't work at all

I still search for more such new features...

That is a killer tip / hidden feature! Thanks!!

Attached is a screenshot of part of the material fly-out from the Info Box after typing "pine" with the material list shown - only materials containing the word 'pine' are highlighted.

I played some more, and letters do work. I have various pens labeled as 'skin' or 'core' pens, and they highlight. It is just that the highlighting is a bit too subtle. (Any highlighted done by fading /etc can look just like a valid pen - I think in the pen table it would have been better to draw a line through the rectangle of the unselected pens, or perhaps a border around the filtered pens.)

Very cool stuff, Rafal. Thanks! Keep up the search. 😉

The numbers are 2004 CSI MasterFormat divisions.
